DJ or DD....What would you rather own?

If the Day Date were sold at same price, would you still want a DJ? I'm a big the Date Just fan but I would definitely buy a Day Date without question. The DD has the basic yet most useful complications among all the Rolex watches IMO.

Im big on style, and style wise it is the same watch. Except one shows the day as well as the date, why wouldn't you go with the one that shows more information?
I would!

If money is no object, a gold DD all the way. Since money is an object, I'd be very happy with a SS orr TT DJ.

I guess I'm in the minority (nothing unusual for me... ) But I just think the "Day" part of a watch face is a little too much... I'd just go with the DJ.

Paul, buddy, you are the SUPER MINORITY on this one! But it's cool there is no shame in like a simple classic and refined timepiece, so I salute you.............
Even though I personally love the DD..........Look at my avatar and I am gaudy and love diamonds and gold!
